Abstract
AIM AND OBJECTIVE The study aimed to explore the correlation between dermatoglyphic patterns and quantitative palatal anatomic variables in individuals with different growth patterns. MATERIALS AND METHOD A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 126 healthy patients aged 17-25 years. Participants were divided into three groups based on growth patterns: average, vertical, and horizontal. Dermatoglyphic patterns were recorded using an optical fingerprint sensor, and palatal characteristics were measured using digital software. Palatal characteristics, including intercanine width, intermolar width, and palatal depth, were measured using digital software. The results were statistically analyzed. RESULTS Significant differences were observed in ridge counts among the three growth patterns. The average growth pattern showed lower ridge counts compared to the vertical and horizontal growth patterns. Dermatoglyphic patterns, such as double loops and tented arches, were significantly higher in the horizontal growth pattern. Weak correlations were found between certain dermatoglyphic patterns and palatal characteristics, with simple arch patterns showing a negative correlation with inter-canine width and symmetrical whorl patterns showing a positive correlation with palatal depth. Loop patterns, spiral patterns, double loop patterns, symmetrical whorl, and simple arch patterns were significant predictors of growth patterns. CONCLUSION This study revealed distinct dermatoglyphic patterns and ridge counts among individuals with different growth patterns. Weak correlations were observed between dermatoglyphic patterns and palatal characteristics. However, the predictive value of dermatoglyphics for skeletal malocclusion requires further investigation. Understanding the relationships between dermatoglyphic patterns and craniofacial growth can provide valuable insights into genetic and developmental factors affecting dental and orthodontic conditions.

Abstract
Extracting structured knowledge from scientific text remains a challenging task for machine learning models. Here, we present a simple approach to joint named entity recognition and relation extraction and demonstrate how pretrained large language models (GPT-3, Llama-2) can be fine-tuned to extract useful records of complex scientific knowledge. We test three representative tasks in materials chemistry: linking dopants and host materials, cataloging metal-organic frameworks, and general composition/phase/morphology/application information extraction. Records are extracted from single sentences or entire paragraphs, and the output can be returned as simple English sentences or a more structured format such as a list of JSON objects. This approach represents a simple, accessible, and highly flexible route to obtaining large databases of structured specialized scientific knowledge extracted from research papers.

Abstract
We present the measurement of the cosmic ray proton spectrum from 50 TeV to 1.3 PeV using 7.81×10^{6} extensive air shower events recorded by the ground-based GRAPES-3 experiment between 1 January 2014 and 26 October 2015 with a live time of 460 day. Our measurements provide an overlap with direct observations by satellite and balloon-based experiments. The electromagnetic and muon components in the shower were measured by a dense array of plastic scintillator detectors and a tracking muon telescope, respectively. The relative composition of the proton primary from the air shower data containing all primary particles was extracted using the multiplicity distribution of muons which is a sensitive observable for mass composition. The observed proton spectrum suggests a spectral hardening at ∼166 TeV and disfavors a single power law description of the spectrum up to the Knee energy (∼3 PeV).

Abstract
We used data-driven methods to understand the formation of impurity phases in BiFeO3 thin-film synthesis through the sol-gel technique. Using a high-quality dataset of 331 synthesis procedures and outcomes extracted manually from 177 scientific articles, we trained decision tree models that reinforce important experimental heuristics for the avoidance of phase impurities but ultimately show limited predictive capability. We find that several important synthesis features, identified by our model, are often not reported in the literature. To test our ability to correctly impute missing synthesis parameters, we attempted to reproduce nine syntheses from the literature with varying degrees of "missingness". We demonstrate how a text-mined dataset can be made useful by informing new controlled experiments and forming a better understanding for impurity phase formation in this complex oxide system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer survivors are at increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) disease, although additional data are needed to better understand the incidence of CV events across different malignancies. This study sought to characterize the incidence of major adverse CV events [myocardial infarction, stroke, unstable angina (MACE), or heart failure (HF)] across multiple cancer types after cancer diagnosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were identified from a USA-based administrative claims database who had index cancer diagnoses of breast, lung, prostate, melanoma, myeloma, kidney, colorectal, leukemia, or lymphoma between 2011 and 2019, with continuous enrollment for ≥12 months before diagnosis. Baseline CV risk factors and incidence rates of CV events post-index were identified for each cancer. Multivariable Cox hazards models assessed the cumulative incidence of MACE, accounting for baseline risk factors. RESULTS Among 839 934 patients across nine cancer types, CV risk factors were prevalent. The cumulative incidence of MACE was highest in lung cancer and myeloma, and lowest in breast cancer, prostate cancer, and melanoma. MACE cumulative incidence for lung cancer was 26% by 4 years (2.7-fold higher relative to breast cancer). The incidence of stroke was especially pronounced in lung cancer, while HF was highest in myeloma and lung cancer. CONCLUSIONS CV events were especially increased following certain cancer diagnoses, even after accounting for baseline risk factors. Understanding the variable patient characteristics and associated CV events across different cancers can help target appropriate CV risk factor modification and develop strategies to minimize adverse CV events and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Intravascular imaging (IVI) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been shown to improve clinical outcomes. However, data is limited in complex PCI and the adoption remains low. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis of all available randomized controlled trials comparing IVI with conventional angiography in patients who underwent complex PCI. The primary outcomes of interest were major adverse cardiovascular events, all-cause death, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, target lesion revascularization and target vessel revascularization. Random-effects model was used to calculate pooled risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A total of 10 randomized controlled trials comprising 6,368 patients with 3,452 in the IVI group and 2,916 in the angiography group were included. The mean duration of follow up was 2 years, mean age was 65 years and 73% of patients were men. As compared with PCI with routine angiography, the IVI-guided PCI group had significantly lower risks of major adverse cardiovascular events (RR 0.65, 95% CI 0.56 to 0.75, p <0.00001), stent thrombosis (RR 0.57, 95% CI 0.36 to 0.92, p = 0.02), cardiovascular deaths (RR 0.46, 95% CI 0.31 to 0.68, p = 0.0001), target lesion revascularization (RR 0.61, 95% CI 0.48 to 0.78, p <0.0001) and target vessel revascularization (RR 0.62, 95% CI 0.48 to 0.80, p = 0.0003). All-cause deaths and MI were similar in the 2 groups. In conclusion, among patients who underwent complex PCI, IVI reduces adverse events, importantly stent thrombosis and repeat revascularizations, compared with angiography alone guided PCI.

Abstract
To close the gap between the rates of computational screening and experimental realization of novel materials1,2, we introduce the A-Lab, an autonomous laboratory for the solid-state synthesis of inorganic powders. This platform uses computations, historical data from the literature, machine learning (ML) and active learning to plan and interpret the outcomes of experiments performed using robotics. Over 17 days of continuous operation, the A-Lab realized 41 novel compounds from a set of 58 targets including a variety of oxides and phosphates that were identified using large-scale ab initio phase-stability data from the Materials Project and Google DeepMind. Synthesis recipes were proposed by natural-language models trained on the literature and optimized using an active-learning approach grounded in thermodynamics. Analysis of the failed syntheses provides direct and actionable suggestions to improve current techniques for materials screening and synthesis design. The high success rate demonstrates the effectiveness of artificial-intelligence-driven platforms for autonomous materials discovery and motivates further integration of computations, historical knowledge and robotics.

Abstract
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) and carotid artery endarterectomy (CEA) are revascularization options for the management of severe carotid disease in asymptomatic patients. We aimed to compare the peri-procedural outcomes of the two modalities. A systematic review of the databases PUBMED, EBSCO, and Cochrane Library was performed. All the studies that reported periprocedural outcomes (within 30 days) in asymptomatic carotid stenosis patients were included in the meta-analysis. Random effects models with inverse-variance weighting were used to estimate pooled risk ratios (RRs) to compare the outcomes. Fifteen studies (including seven randomized controlled trials) met the inclusion criteria. A total of 15251 patients were included, out of which 6419 (42%) underwent CAS and 8832 (57.9%) underwent CEA. There was no statistical difference in the primary composite outcome of death/stroke/myocardial infarction (MI) (RR 1.02, 95% CI [0.69-1.51], p 0.93). No difference was found in the secondary outcome of all-cause mortality. CAS was associated with a slightly lower risk of MI and cranial nerve palsy. CAS was associated with a slightly higher risk of stroke with no difference in the occurrence of disabling stroke or ipsilateral stroke. In general terms, the study confirms equipoise in the two treatment strategies with a higher risk of MI and cranial nerve palsy with CEA and a higher risk of non-disabling stroke with CAS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rubber band ligation (RBL) is a widely accepted intervention for the treatment of haemorrhoids. However, post procedure pain is a common complaint. The aim of this study was to determine whether the addition of local anaesthetic (LA) to the haemorrhoid pedicle base, post RBL, aids in reducing early post-procedure pain. Additionally, to compare perceived perianal numbness, oral analgesia usage and total consumption, and adverse events. METHODS This study was a prospective, single-blinded randomised controlled trial. Patients were recruited from colorectal clinics in two Australian hospitals between 2018-2019. Patients randomised to the intervention (LA) group received 2mls bupivacaine 0.5% with adrenaline 1:200,000 to each haemorrhoid base. Patients in the control group were not administered LA. Pain scores were recorded over 48 h using visual analogue scales. Analgesia consumption was documented and other secondary objectives were recorded dichotomously (yes/no). RESULTS At 1 h post-procedure, patient reported pain scores were significantly lower in the LA group compared to the control group (p = 0.04). There were no significant differences in pain scores between the groups at 4, 24 or 48 h. Additionally, there were no significant differences between groups with respect to oral analgesia usage, perianal numbness or adverse events. CONCLUSIONS LA to the haemorrhoid pedicle post RBL may significantly reduce early post procedure pain without any increased risk of adverse effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: The aim of these clinical standards is to aid the diagnosis and management of asthma in low-resource settings in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).METHODS: A panel of 52 experts in the field of asthma in LMICs participated in a two-stage Delphi process to establish and reach a consensus on the clinical standards.RESULTS: Eighteen clinical standards were defined: Standard 1, Every individual with symptoms and signs compatible with asthma should undergo a clinical assessment; Standard 2, In individuals (>6 years) with a clinical assessment supportive of a diagnosis of asthma, a hand-held spirometry measurement should be used to confirm variable expiratory airflow limitation by demonstrating an acute response to a bronchodilator; Standard 3, Pre- and post-bronchodilator spirometry should be performed in individuals (>6 years) to support diagnosis before treatment is commenced if there is diagnostic uncertainty; Standard 4, Individuals with an acute exacerbation of asthma and clinical signs of hypoxaemia or increased work of breathing should be given supplementary oxygen to maintain saturation at 94-98%; Standard 5, Inhaled short-acting beta-2 agonists (SABAs) should be used as an emergency reliever in individuals with asthma via an appropriate spacer device for metered-dose inhalers; Standard 6, Short-course oral corticosteroids should be administered in appropriate doses to individuals having moderate to severe acute asthma exacerbations (minimum 3-5 days); Standard 7, Individuals having a severe asthma exacerbation should receive emergency care, including oxygen therapy, systemic corticosteroids, inhaled bronchodilators (e.g., salbutamol with or without ipratropium bromide) and a single dose of intravenous magnesium sulphate should be considered; Standard 8, All individuals with asthma should receive education about asthma and a personalised action plan; Standard 9, Inhaled medications (excluding dry-powder devices) should be administered via an appropriate spacer device in both adults and children. Children aged 0-3 years will require the spacer to be coupled to a face mask; Standard 10, Children aged <5 years with asthma should receive a SABA as-needed at step 1 and an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) to cover periods of wheezing due to respiratory viral infections, and SABA as-needed and daily ICS from step 2 upwards; Standard 11, Children aged 6-11 years with asthma should receive an ICS taken whenever an inhaled SABA is used; Standard 12, All adolescents aged 12-18 years and adults with asthma should receive a combination inhaler (ICS and rapid onset of action long-acting beta-agonist [LABA] such as budesonide-formoterol), where available, to be used either as-needed (for mild asthma) or as both maintenance and reliever therapy, for moderate to severe asthma; Standard 13, Inhaled SABA alone for the management of patients aged >12 years is not recommended as it is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. It should only be used where there is no access to ICS.The following standards (14-18) are for settings where there is no access to inhaled medicines. Standard 14, Patients without access to corticosteroids should be provided with a single short course of emergency oral prednisolone; Standard 15, Oral SABA for symptomatic relief should be used only if no inhaled SABA is available. Adjust to the individual's lowest beneficial dose to minimise adverse effects; Standard 16, Oral leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA) can be used as a preventive medication and is preferable to the use of long-term oral systemic corticosteroids; Standard 17, In exceptional circumstances, when there is a high risk of mortality from exacerbations, low-dose oral prednisolone daily or on alternate days may be considered on a case-by-case basis; Standard 18. Oral theophylline should be restricted for use in situations where it is the only bronchodilator treatment option available.CONCLUSION: These first consensus-based clinical standards for asthma management in LMICs are intended to help clinicians provide the most effective care for people in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
Deconstructing solid-state batteries (SSBs) to physically separated cathode and solid-electrolyte particles remains intensive, as does the remanufacturing of cathodes and separators from the recovered materials. To address this challenge, we designed supramolecular organo-ionic (ORION) electrolytes that are viscoelastic solids at battery operating temperatures (-40° to 45°C) yet are viscoelastic liquids above 100°C, which enables both the fabrication of high-quality SSBs and the recycling of their cathodes at end of life. SSBs implementing ORION electrolytes alongside Li metal anodes and either LFP or NMC cathodes were operated for hundreds of cycles at 45°C with less than 20% capacity fade. Using a low-temperature solvent process, we isolated the cathode from the electrolyte and demonstrated that refurbished cells recover 90% of their initial capacity and sustain it for an additional 100 cycles with 84% capacity retention in their second life.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate and compare the effect of diode laser assisted bleaching, ultrasonic scaling and powered tooth brushing on surface roughness and bacterial adherence on class V cavities restored with composites. Materials and methods A total of one hundred and twenty samples (40 samples each of Brilliant Everglow, Beautifil II and Heytec-N) were prepared in standardized stainless steel molds. The samples were further subdivided into four subgroups i.e. one control group (without any intervention) and three experimental groups - diode laser assisted bleaching, ultrasonic scaling and powered tooth brushing consisting of 10 sample each. Surface roughness was measured quantitatively with the help of 3D Optical Profilometer. For bacterial adherence analysis S. mutans strain (ATCC 25175) was cultured in BHI medium and samples were evaluated for the presence of viable bacteria using the Colony Forming Unit (CFU) count. Results obtained were then tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis. Results Diode laser bleaching caused a significant increase in surface roughness and bacterial adherence with lowest mean change exhibited by Heytec-N followed by Beautifil II and highest by Brilliant Everglow group. Similarly, Ultrasonic scaling increased the surface roughness of all the three tested samples with significant difference between the groups. Powered tooth brushing had no effect on the surface roughness and bacterial adherence of the tested composites. Conclusion Diode assisted laser bleaching and ultrasonic caused significantly higher surface roughness and bacterial adherence values for all the tested composites. It may therefore be recommended to do finishing and polishing of restorations after such procedures.

Abstract
The scenario of developed and developing countries nowadays is disturbed due to modern living style which affects environment, wildlife and natural habitat. Environmental quality has become or is a subject of major concern as it is responsible for health hazard of mankind and animals. Measurements and prediction of hazardous parameters in different fields of environment is a recent research topic for safety and betterment of people as well as nature. Pollution in nature is an after-effect of civilization. To combat the damage already happened, some processes should be evolved for measurement and prediction of pollution in various fields. Researchers of all over the world are active to find out ways of predicting such hazard. In this paper, application of neural network and deep learning algorithms is chosen for air pollution and water pollution cases. The purpose of this review is to reveal how family of neural network algorithms has applied on these two pollution parameters. In this paper, importance is given on algorithm, and datasets used for air and water pollution as well as the predicted parameters have also been noted for ease of future development. One major concern of this paper is Indian context of air and water pollution research, and the research potential presents in this area using Indian dataset. Another aspect for including both air and water pollutions in one review paper is to generate an idea of artificial neural network and deep learning techniques which can be cross applicable for future purpose.

Abstract
Duodenal adenocarcinoma (DA) is a rare tumor. We present the case of an 84-year-old lady who presented with episodic emesis with progressive dysphagia to solids and liquids. She also noted a significant weight loss of 31kg over four months. She was reported to have multiple brain masses three months before this admission. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed a heterogeneous mass (8cm) in the left retroperitoneum, inseparable from the duodenum. Additional peritoneal nodules and enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes were suspicious for metastases. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed extrinsic compression of the stomach by the tumor. A large friable distal duodenal mass (fourth part) partially obstructed the lumen, which was biopsied. Pathology results demonstrated high-grade dysplasia but did not confirm malignancy. The patient's carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was elevated, but cancer antigens (CA)125 and CA19-9 were normal. A percutaneous biopsy of the mass revealed enteric-type adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemistry showed that the tumor was positive for caudal-type homeobox (CDX)2, negative for special AT-rich sequence-binding protein (SATB)2, and patchy positive for cytokeratin (CK)7 and CK20 staining. The collective evidence suggested a duodenal primary. The patient opted for hospice and died in three days. We lack pathological evidence, but the patient's brain masses were suspicious of metastases. This would be one of the few reported cases of DA with possible brain metastases.

Abstract
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare, life-threatening emergency caused more commonly by typical antipsychotics. However, unusual presentations of NMS are intermittently reported with the use of atypical antipsychotics. We present the case of a 42-year-old gentleman with schizoaffective and bipolar disorder who was admitted for change in mentation and lithium toxicity. His mentation did not improve despite being dialyzed and the resolution of lithium level to baseline. He developed persistent tachycardia and hyperthermia, initially attributed to Streptococcal infection. But despite appropriate antibiotic therapy, his clinical symptoms did not improve. An extensive workup for his neurological symptoms, including lumbar puncture, 5-hydroxy indole acetic acid urine test, and brain magnetic resonance imaging, was inconclusive of any underlying etiology. Given the suspicion of atypical NMS, bromocriptine 2.5 mg three times daily was initiated. This led to the gradual resolution of his symptoms and a return to his baseline mental status. Diagnosing atypical NMS can be challenging and must be differentiated from similar disorders. Lithium toxicity can predispose patients to develop NMS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), a backbone treatment for advanced prostate cancer (PC), is known to have a variety of metabolic side effects. We conducted an updated meta-analysis to quantify the metabolic risks of ADT. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus in May of 2022 for studies investigating the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS), diabetes, and hypertension from ADT in PC patients using keywords. Only full-length studies with a control group of PC patients not on ADT were included. All results compatible with each outcome domain in each included study were sought. For included studies, relative risk (RR) was pooled using a random effects model and a trim-fill approach was used to adjust for publication bias. RESULTS 1,846 records were screened, of which 19 were found suitable for data extraction. Five studies, including 891 patients, were evaluated for MetS as an outcome, with the random effects model showing a pooled RR of 1.60 ([95% Confidence Interval (CI), 1.06-2.42]; P=0.03) for patients on ADT while twelve studies, including 336,330 patients, examined diabetes as an outcome, and the random effects model showed a RR of 1.43 ([95% CI, 1.28-1.59]; P< 0.01). After adjustment for publication bias, ADT was associated with a 25% increased risk for diabetes but was not associated with MetS. 4 studies, including 7,051 patients, examined hypertension as an outcome, and the random effects model showed a RR of 1.30 ([95% CI, 1.08-1.55]; P=0.18) in ADT patients. CONCLUSION In patients with PC, ADT was not associated with MetS and the association with diabetes was not as strong as previously reported. Our novel meta-analysis of hypertension showed that ADT increased the risk of hypertension by 30%. These results should be understood in the context of collaborating care between a patient's oncologist and primary care provider to optimize care.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
To report our recommended methodology for extracting and then confirming research uncertainties – areas where research has failed to answer a research question – derived from previously published literature during a broad scope Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) with the James Lind Alliance (JLA).
Methods
This process was completed in the UK as part of the PSP for “Common Conditions Affecting the Hand and Wrist”, comprising of health professionals, patients and carers and reports the data (uncertainty) extraction phase of this. The PSP followed the robust methodology dictated by the JLA and sought to identify knowledge gaps, termed “uncertainties” by the JLA. Published Cochrane Systematic Reviews, Guidelines and Protocols, NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) Guidelines, and SIGN (Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network) Guidelines were screened for documented “uncertainties”. A robust method of screening, internally verifying and then checking uncertainties was adopted. This included independent screening and data extraction by multiple researchers and use of a PRISMA flowchart, alongside steering group consensus processes.
Selection of research uncertainties was guided by the scope of the Common Conditions Affecting the Hand and Wrist PSP which focused on “common” hand conditions routinely treated by hand specialists, including hand surgeons and hand therapists limited to identifying questions concerning the results of intervention, and not the basic science or epidemiology behind disease.
Results
Of the 2358 records identified (after removal of duplicates) which entered the screening process, 186 records were presented to the PSP steering group for eligibility assessment; 79 were deemed within scope and included for the purpose of research uncertainty extraction (45 full Cochrane Reviews, 18 Cochrane Review protocols, 16 Guidelines). These yielded 89 research uncertainties, which were compared to the stakeholder survey, and added to the longlist where necessary; before derived uncertainties were checked against non-Cochrane published systematic reviews.
Conclusions
In carrying out this work, beyond reporting on output of the Common Conditions Affecting the Hand and Wrist PSP, we detail the methodology and processes we hope can inform and facilitate the work of future PSPs and other evidence reviews, especially those with a broader scope beyond a single disease or condition.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
It has been previously reported during the first COVID outbreak that patients presenting with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and concurrent COVID-19 infection have increased thrombus burden and poorer outcomes [1]. Subsequently, there have been multiple further waves of the pandemic with the emergence of at least two new COVID-19 variants and the emergence of vaccinations. To-date, there have been no reports comparing the outcomes of COVID-19-positive STEMI patients across all waves of the pandemic.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to compare the baseline demographic, procedural and angiographic characteristics alongside the clinical outcomes of patients presenting with STEMI and concurrent COVID-19 infection across the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK.
Methods
This was a single-centre, observational study of 1250 consecutive patients admitted with confirmed STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at Barts Heart Centre between 01/03/2020 and 10/03/2022. COVID +ve patients were split into 3 groups based upon the time course of the pandemic (Wave 1: March 2020-June 2020, Wave 2: Sept 2020-March 2021, Wave 3: October 2021-March 2022). Comparison was made between waves and with a control group of COVID-ve patients treated during the same timeframe.
Results
A total of 135 COVID +ive patients with STEMI (1st Wave: 39 patients, 2nd Wave: 60 patients, 3rd wave 35 pts) were included in the present analysis; and compared with 1115 COVID negative patients. Significant changes in the baseline characteristics, angiographic features and clinical outcomes of COVID +ive patients occurred over time. Early during the pandemic (Wave 1 2020), STEMI patients presenting with concurrent COVID-19 infection had high rates of cardiac arrest, evidence of increased thrombus burden (higher rates of multi-vessel thrombosis, stent thrombosis, higher modified thrombus grade higher use of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors and thrombus aspiration, coagulability (more heparin for therapeutic ACT), bigger infarcts (lower myocardial blush grade and left ventricular function) and worse outcomes (mortality). However, by wave 3 (late 2021/2022), no differences existed in clinical characteristics, thrombus burden, infarct size or outcomes between COVID +ive patients and those without concurrent COVID-19 infection with significant differences compared to earlier COVID +ve patients. Poor outcomes later in the study period were predominantly in unvaccinated individuals.
Conclusions
Significant changes have occurred in the clinical characteristics, angiographic features and outcomes of STEMI patients with COVID-19 infection treated by primary PCI during the course of the pandemic. Importantly it appears that angiographic features and outcomes of recent waves are no different to a non-COVID-19 population.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Considering a paucity of large-scale data on predictors of pulmonary embolism (PE) and its higher association with complications and worse outcomes, we aimed to determine the predictors of PE in this United States population-based analysis using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Model in a nationally representative cohort.
Methods
We identified PE-related hospitalizations using 2018's National Inpatient Sample database. The relevant predictive factors for ANN were selected for this cohort. Of all admissions (unweighted n=7,105,498, weighted n=35,527,481), PE cohort (weighted n=387805) consisted of 1.1% of all admissions in 2018. The 2018 cohort was randomly split into training data (unweighted n=4716132, 70.0%) which were used to calibrate ANN and testing data (unweighted n=2019290, 30%) which were used to assess the accurateness of the algorithm. We equated the rate of incorrect prediction between training and testing data and measured the Area under Receiver Operator Curve (AUC) to determine ANN's efficacy in predicting PE hospitalizations.
Results
Patients hospitalized with PE often consisted of older (mean age 62.5±17.1 years), female (51.3%), white (70.5%) patients, and patients from lower-income quartile (0–25% income quartile: 28.8%%), often admitted non-electively (93.7%) with higher rates of cardiovascular disease risk factors. PE admissions revealed significantly higher (6.5% vs. 1.9%, p<0.001) in-hospital mortality, less frequent routine discharges (51.4% vs. 68.1%) and more frequent other facility transfers and requirement of home health care. Normalized Predictors of PE admissions are displayed in Fig. 1. Our ANN model had AUC 0.873 which correlates with an excellent prediction model. Our data demonstrated low levels (0.8%) error in both testing and training models.
Conclusion
Our ANN model showed high performance to predict risk factors for PE admissions in the US population. It will enable clinicians to screen patients at high-risk for PE admissions, curtail complication rate, improve survival and lower the healthcare cost.

Abstract
Optical device design is typically an iterative optimization process based on a good initial guess from prior reports. Optical properties databases are useful in this process but difficult to compile because their parsing requires finding relevant papers and manually converting graphical emissivity curves to data tables. Here, we present two contributions: one is a dataset of thermal emissivity records with design-related parameters, and the other is a software tool for automated colored curve data extraction from scientific plots. We manually collected 64 papers with 176 figures reporting thermal emissivity and automatically retrieved 153 colored curve data records. The automated figure analysis software pipeline uses Faster R-CNN for axes and legend object detection, EasyOCR for axes numbering recognition, and k-means clustering for colored curve retrieval. Additionally, we manually extracted geometry, materials, and method information from the text to add necessary metadata to each emissivity curve. Finally, we analyzed the dataset to determine the dominant classes of emissivity curves and determine the underlying design parameters leading to a type of emissivity profile.

Abstract
There currently exist no quantitative methods to determine the appropriate conditions for solid-state synthesis. This not only hinders the experimental realization of novel materials but also complicates the interpretation and understanding of solid-state reaction mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate a machine-learning approach that predicts synthesis conditions using large solid-state synthesis data sets text-mined from scientific journal articles. Using feature importance ranking analysis, we discovered that optimal heating temperatures have strong correlations with the stability of precursor materials quantified using melting points and formation energies (ΔG f , ΔH f ). In contrast, features derived from the thermodynamics of synthesis-related reactions did not directly correlate to the chosen heating temperatures. This correlation between optimal solid-state heating temperature and precursor stability extends Tamman's rule from intermetallics to oxide systems, suggesting the importance of reaction kinetics in determining synthesis conditions. Heating times are shown to be strongly correlated with the chosen experimental procedures and instrument setups, which may be indicative of human bias in the data set. Using these predictive features, we constructed machine-learning models with good performance and general applicability to predict the conditions required to synthesize diverse chemical systems.

Abstract
Electrocatalysis provides a potential solution to [Formula: see text] pollution in wastewater by converting it to innocuous N2 gas. However, materials with excellent catalytic activity are typically limited to expensive precious metals, hindering their commercial viability. In response to this challenge, we have conducted the most extensive computational search to date for electrocatalysts that can facilitate [Formula: see text] reduction reaction, starting with 59 390 candidate bimetallic alloys from the Materials Project and Automatic-Flow databases. Using a joint machine learning- and computation-based screening strategy, we evaluated our candidates based on corrosion resistance, catalytic activity, N2 selectivity, cost, and the ability to synthesize. We found that only 20 materials will satisfy all criteria in our screening strategy, all of which contain varying amounts of Cu. Our proposed list of candidates is consistent with previous materials investigated in the literature, with the exception of Cu–Co and Cu–Ag based compounds that merit further investigation.

Abstract
We report strong ferromagnetism of quasiparticle doped holes both within the ab-plane and along the c-axis of Cu-O planes in low-dimensional Au/d-La1.8Ba0.2CuO4/LaAlO3(001) heterostructures (d = 4, 8 and 12 unit-cells) using resonant soft X-ray and magnetic scattering together with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism. Interestingly, ferromagnetism is stronger at a hole doped peak and at an upper Hubbard band of O with spin-polarization degree as high as 40%, revealing strong ferromagnetism of Mottness. For in-ab-plane spin-polarizations, the spin of doped holes in O2p-Cu3d-O2p is a triplet state yielding strong ferromagnetism. For out-of-ab-plane spin-polarization, while the spins of doped holes in both O2p-O2p and Cu3d-Cu3d are triplet states, the spin of doped holes in Cu3d-O2p is a singlet state yielding ferrimagnetism. A ferromagnetic-(002) Bragg-peak of the doped holes is observed and enhanced as a function of d revealing strong ferromagnetism coupling between Cu-O layers along the c-axis.

Abstract
The structural and magnetic properties of hole doped double perovskite La1.5Ca0.5CoFeO6have been investigated by measuring x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, neutron powder diffraction and magnetization. A ferrimagnetic transition is observed atTC∼ 167 K. The presence of anti-site disorder (ASD) in La1.5Ca0.5CoFeO6has also been demonstrated. Double re-entrant cluster glass transitions (T1∼ 11 K andTS∼ 35 K) were observed which has been attributed to the ASD effect. The presence of both large spontaneous exchange biasHSEB∼ 2.106 kOe and giant conventional exchange biasHCEB∼ 1.56 T at 5 K has also been observed which can be attributed to the coexistence of long range magnetic ordering and glassy state. The experimental observations were explained with the results obtained by the density functional theory calculation. The presence of double glassy states, large exchange-bias effect and different magnetic phases make this system a potential candidate for spintronic applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stratifying risk of postoperative pulmonary complications after major abdominal surgery allows clinicians to modify risk through targeted interventions and enhanced monitoring. In this study, we aimed to identify and validate prognostic models against a new consensus definition of postoperative pulmonary complications. METHODS We did a systematic review and international external validation cohort study. The systematic review was done in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We searched MEDLINE and Embase on March 1, 2020, for articles published in English that reported on risk prediction models for postoperative pulmonary complications following abdominal surgery. External validation of existing models was done within a prospective international cohort study of adult patients (≥18 years) undergoing major abdominal surgery. Data were collected between Jan 1, 2019, and April 30, 2019, in the UK, Ireland, and Australia. Discriminative ability and prognostic accuracy summary statistics were compared between models for the 30-day postoperative pulmonary complication rate as defined by the Standardised Endpoints in Perioperative Medicine Core Outcome Measures in Perioperative and Anaesthetic Care (StEP-COMPAC). Model performance was compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROCC). FINDINGS In total, we identified 2903 records from our literature search; of which, 2514 (86·6%) unique records were screened, 121 (4·8%) of 2514 full texts were assessed for eligibility, and 29 unique prognostic models were identified. Nine (31·0%) of 29 models had score development reported only, 19 (65·5%) had undergone internal validation, and only four (13·8%) had been externally validated. Data to validate six eligible models were collected in the international external validation cohort study. Data from 11 591 patients were available, with an overall postoperative pulmonary complication rate of 7·8% (n=903). None of the six models showed good discrimination (defined as AUROCC ≥0·70) for identifying postoperative pulmonary complications, with the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia score showing the best discrimination (AUROCC 0·700 [95% CI 0·683-0·717]). INTERPRETATION In the pre-COVID-19 pandemic data, variability in the risk of pulmonary complications (StEP-COMPAC definition) following major abdominal surgery was poorly described by existing prognostication tools. To improve surgical safety during the COVID-19 pandemic recovery and beyond, novel risk stratification tools are required. FUNDING British Journal of Surgery Society.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study is to assess the burden of AF-related hospitalizations inclusive of inflation-adjusted cost-of-care and length-of-stay (LOS) among cancer patients and the impact of direct current cardioversion (DCCV) on these outcomes. Methods Using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS), patients hospitalized with either a primary or secondary diagnosis of AF and comorbid cancer were identified and both cost of hospitalization and LOS were evaluated for each group. Subgroup analyses were performed for specific cancer types (breast, lung, colon, prostate and lymphoma), and those receiving DCCV. Results The prevalence of co-morbid AF was 8.2 million (16%) and 35.5 million (10%) among those with vs. those without cancer, respectively (odds ratio = 1.6, 95% confidence interval = 1.5–1.7; P < 0.001). Over time, both primary and prevalent AF admissions among those with comorbid cancer increased from 1.1% and 12.3% in 2003 to 1.5% and 21% in 2015, respectively. The total cost of hospitalization increased 94.4% among those with AF and comorbid cancer compared to 23.9% among those without cancer. Among the subgroup of patients with comorbid cancer and primary admission for AF undergoing DCCV, length of stay (2.7 vs. 2.2 days; P < 0.001, model 1) and cost of care ($7,093 vs. 6,152; P < 0.001) were both significantly higher. Conclusions AF related admissions are increasing for all populations especially amongst those patients with a comorbid diagnosis of cancer, including all cancer subtypes evaluated. Among those patients who underwent DCCV, cancer patients had longer length of stay and increased health care costs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by progressive hemifacial atrophy. Concomitant brain abnormalities have been reported, frequently resulting in epilepsy, but the frequency and spectrum of brain involvement are not well-established. This study aimed to characterize brain abnormalities in Parry-Romberg syndrome and their association with epilepsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a single-center, retrospective review of patients with a clinical diagnosis of Parry-Romberg syndrome and brain MR imaging. The degree of unilateral hemispheric atrophy, white matter disease, microhemorrhage, and leptomeningeal enhancement was graded as none, mild, moderate, or severe. Other abnormalities were qualitatively reported. Findings were considered potentially Parry-Romberg syndrome-related when occurring asymmetrically on the side affected by Parry-Romberg syndrome. RESULTS Of 80 patients, 48 (60%) had brain abnormalities identified on MR imaging, with 26 (32%) having abnormalities localized to the side of the hemifacial atrophy. Sixteen (20%) had epilepsy. MR imaging brain abnormalities were more common in the epilepsy group (100% versus 48%, P < .001) and were more frequently present ipsilateral to the hemifacial atrophy in patients with epilepsy (81% versus 20%, P < .001). Asymmetric white matter disease was the predominant finding in patients with (88%) and without (23%) epilepsy. White matter disease and hemispheric atrophy had a higher frequency and severity in patients with epilepsy (P < .001). Microhemorrhage was also more frequent in the epilepsy group (P = .015). CONCLUSIONS Ipsilateral MR imaging brain abnormalities are common in patients with Parry-Romberg syndrome, with a higher frequency and greater severity in those with epilepsy. The most common findings in both groups are white matter disease and hemispheric atrophy, both presenting with greater severity in patients with epilepsy.

Background
Obesity in the young population is emerging as a challenging health concern. Though there is a rising prevalence of obesity and its potential association with demand ischemia-related myocardial infarction, data remains non-existent to evaluate the association of obesity or higher body mass index (BMI) with type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI). We aim to identify the frequency, risk and predictors of T2MI in young hospitalized obese patients compared to non-obese patients in this population-based study.
Methods
We used National Inpatient Sample (2018, ICD-10 codes) to identify T2MI in young (18-44 years) hospitalized patients. Obesity was identified from comorbidities or using diagnostic codes for BMI>30 kg/m2. We performed multivariable regression analysis for the primary outcome of odds of T2MI in young obese patients compared to non-obese patients. The frequency of T2MI was compared between obese vs non-obese patients in overall and subgroup populations. Sociodemographic characteristics and comorbidities in T2MI-obese vs. T2MI-non-obese cohorts were also compared. A p<0.05 was considered a threshold for statistical significance.
Results
Out of 1,268,255 young hospitalized patients with obesity, 555 had T2MI. T2MI was significantly higher in young obese than non-obese (44 T2MI/100000 hospitalizations in young obese patients vs. 17 T2MI/100000 hospitalizations in young non-obese patients, overall 0.04% in obese vs. 0.02% in non-obese, p<0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed higher odds of T2MI in obese than nonobese when adjusted for demographics (aOR 2.65, 95% CI:2.42-2.90, p<0.001) and social demographics with comorbidities (aOR 1.60, 95% CI:1.24-2.07, p<0.001). In young obese, higher risk was found with advancing age (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.03-1.11, p=0.001), in males than females (aOR 2.70, p<0.001), and blacks (aOR 2.22, p=0.011) and Native Americans (OR 3.91, 95% CI: 1.13-13.49, p=0.011) vs whites. Comorbidities including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR 1.86), chronic kidney disease (CKD, OR 2.36), rheumatoid arthritis/collagen vascular disease (RA/CVD, OR 3.04) Iin young obese patients independently increased the risk of T2MI hospitalizations [Table 1]. The T2MI-obese cohort had a significantly higher rate of hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, COPD, and prior history of MI and TIA/stroke compared to the T2MI-nonobese cohort [Table 2].
Conclusion
This nationwide analysis revealed a significantly higher risk of T2MI in young obese patients compared to nonobese after excluding patients with concomitant diagnoses of T1MI. Males, blacks compared to females and whites, and comorbidities including COPD, CKD and RA/CVD predicted a higher risk of T2MI in young obese patients. Future studies are warranted to evaluate the role of higher body mass index in myocardial oxygen demand-supply mismatch and short-term/long-term risk and outcomes of T2MI.

Background
Type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI), due to a mismatch between myocardial oxygen demand and supply, is being increasingly recognized with improved diagnostics. The upsetting concern of developing T2MI in patients with prior revascularized occlusive acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or type 1 MI (T1MI) makes it crucial to define the clinical profile and outcomes of T2MI in revascularized patients of ACS.
Purpose
To determine the risk and prognosis of T2MI in patients who had previously had coronary revascularization (PCI or CABG)
Methods
We used the National Inpatient Sample (2018) dataset from the United States to identify T2MI adult hospitalizations using ICD-10 codes and define our study arm as T2MI excluding secondary T1MI diagnoses but having prior revascularized (with percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting) AMI. We then compared demographics and comorbidities in T2MI cohort with vs without personal history of revascularized AMI. We used multivariate analysis to study the odds of T2MI hospitalizations with prior revascularized AMI and in-hospital outcomes (all-cause mortality, cardiogenic shock and resource utilization) adjusting for confounders.
Results
There were 33155 T2MI adult hospitalizations after excluding AMI (median age 71 years, 50.6% male, 67.3% white); 1435 (4.3%) had previously revascularized AMI. T2MI in the study arm had higher chances of hospitalization with prior revascularized AMI when adjusted for socio-demographics (aOR 6.92, 95% CI:6.50-7.36, p<0.001) and socio-demographics with comorbidities (aOR 5.70, 95%CI: 5.48-5.94, p<0.001) (Table 1). Study arm often had elderly (≥65 years old, 78.4% vs 65.8%), male (66.6% vs 49.9%), white (76.7% vs 66.9%), upper socio-economic class (20.2 vs 16.8%), patients who were often admitted to non-electively (99.3 vs 97.1%) and to rural (10.5 vs 9.3%) hospitalizations compared to control arm. The study arm had a significantly higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, peripheral vascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, renal failure, deficiency anemias, prior TIA/stroke, depression and smoking. T2MI cohort with prior revascularized AMI did not show any significant association with in-hospital all-cause mortality (1.7 vs 3.0%, aOR 0.49, 95%CI 0.18-1.34, p=0.164) and cardiogenic shock (1.7% vs 2.1%, p=0.399) however, had lower hospital expenditure (median USD 31273 vs 36567) and fewer transfers to other facilities (19.5 vs 22.1%) than those without prior revascularized AMI (Table 2).
Conclusion
Population-based analysis of this nationally representative sample revealed up to six times higher risk of developing T2MI in patients with prior history of AMI (revascularized) but without any significant impact on all-cause in-hospital mortality or cardiogenic shock. Future studies are warranted to assess the short-term/long-term outcomes of T2MI in high risk patient population with previously revascularized AMI.

Abstract
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often present in coronary artery disease patients and confers a high risk of complications following percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). The impact of two commonly associated comorbid conditions, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS, Pickwickian syndrome) in OSA patients undergoing PCI has never been studied. Methods The National Inpatient Sample (NIS; 2007-2014) was queried using the International Classification of Diseases, Clinical Modification 9 (ICD-9-CM) codes to compare baseline characteristics, comorbidities, and outcomes in adults undergoing PCI with OSA, COPD-overlap syndrome, and OSA+OHS. Results Of a total of 4,792,177 PCI-related inpatient encounters, OSA, OSA-COPD overlap syndrome, and OSA+OHS were found to be present in 153,706 (median age 62 years, 79.4% male), 65135 (median age 65 years, 66.0% male), and 2291 (median age 63 years, 58.2% males) patients, respectively. The OHS+OSA cohort, when compared to the COPD-OSA and OSA cohorts, was found to have the worst outcomes in terms of all-cause mortality (2.8% vs. 1.5% vs. 1.1%), hospital stay (median 6 vs. 3 vs. 2 days), hospital charges ($147, 209 vs. $101,416 vs. $87,983). Complications, including cardiogenic shock (7.3% vs. 3.4% vs. 2.6%), post-procedural myocardial infarction (11.2% vs. 7.1% vs. 6.0%), iatrogenic cardiac complications (6.1% vs. 3.5% vs. 3.7%), respiratory failure, acute kidney injury, infections, and pulmonary embolism, were also significantly higher in patients with OHS+OSA. Adjusted multivariable analysis revealed equivalent results with OHS+OSA having worse outcomes than OSA-COPD and OSA. Conclusion Concomitant OHS and COPD were linked to worse clinical outcomes in patients with OSA undergoing PCI. Future prospective studies are warranted to fully understand related pathophysiology, evaluate and validate long-term outcomes, and formulate effective preventive and management strategies.

Abstract
A woman with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) presented in the emergency department with life-threatening anemia (hemoglobin 3 g/dL). Exaggeration of preexisting chronic anemia to severe anemia after a recent red blood cell (RBC) transfusion led to suspicion of delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction. Given the urgency for transfusion along with a stronger suspicion for coexistence of an alloantibody, the dilution method proposed by Lawrence Petz and George Garratty was used to find an RBC unit for transfusion. An alloantibody with Fyb specificity was identified, which was masked by the coexistent autoantibody. This method is based on the assumption that the titers of an alloantibody are higher than that of autoantibody. Diluting the autoantibody would reveal the alloantibody and, for this purpose, a serial doubling dilution of serum is performed. This method has an important limitation of missing any alloantibodies with titers less than that of the autoantibody. In spite of this, this method may be of use at a resource-poor setting, where trained personnel and other reagents intended for advanced immunohematology methods are unavailable.

Abstract
A bottleneck in efficiently connecting new materials discoveries to established literature has arisen due to an increase in publications. This problem may be addressed by using named entity recognition (NER) to extract structured summary-level data from unstructured materials science text. We compare the performance of four NER models on three materials science datasets. The four models include a bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) and three transformer models (BERT, SciBERT, and MatBERT) with increasing degrees of domain-specific materials science pre-training. MatBERT improves over the other two BERTBASE-based models by 1%∼12%, implying that domain-specific pre-training provides measurable advantages. Despite relative architectural simplicity, the BiLSTM model consistently outperforms BERT, perhaps due to its domain-specific pre-trained word embeddings. Furthermore, MatBERT and SciBERT models outperform the original BERT model to a greater extent in the small data limit. MatBERT’s higher-quality predictions should accelerate the extraction of structured data from materials science literature. Efficient extraction of information from materials science literature is needed Domain-specific materials science pre-training improves results Even simpler domain-specific models can outperform more complex general models
A bottleneck in efficiently connecting new materials discoveries to established literature has arisen due to a massive increase in publications. Four different language models are trained to automatically collect important information from materials science articles. We compare a simple model (BiLSTM) with materials science knowledge to three variants of a more complex model: one with general knowledge (BERT), one with general scientific knowledge (SciBERT), and one with materials science knowledge (MatBERT). We find that MatBERT performs the best overall. This implies that language models with greater extents of materials science knowledge will perform better on materials science-related tasks. The simpler model even consistently outperforms BERT. Furthermore, the performance gaps grow when the models are given fewer examples of information extraction to learn from. MatBERT’s higher-quality results should accelerate the collection of information from materials science literature.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Older people in care homes living with frailty are less likely to benefit from tight glycaemic control in the management of type 2 diabetes with increased risk of adverse effects for example hypoglycaemia, falls and hospital admission. We wished to ascertain the scale of the problem and reduce overtreatment. We defined overtreatment based on American Diabetes Association guidelines as being on an agent that can cause hypoglycaemia and having an HBA1C of ≤53 mmol/mol or, an HbA1c 53–64 mmol/mol with either three or more co-morbidities.
Methods
In 2016, we audited the management of type 2 diabetes in older people discharged from LTHT to care homes. We discussed our concerns with diabetes and geriatric medicine colleagues across medical, nursing and pharmacy disciplines. We engaged the support of the citywide diabetes network which comprises secondary care colleagues, general practitioners and pharmacists. We presented the findings of our initial audit to colleagues within primary and secondary care through departmental meetings and citywide network meetings. We wrote a new guideline, specifically for frail older people that was disseminated citywide through these networks. We re-audited in 2020.
Results
In total, 113 cases were reviewed in 2016 and 105 cases in 2020. In 2020, only 6% (6 patients) were overtreated compared to 38% (43 patients) in 2016.
Conclusions
There has been a marked reduction in overtreatment which should result in less adverse events. We believe the reasons for success lie in wide engagement of relevant stakeholder groups around an issue that is important, large in scale and meaningful to both patient and clinician. There are potential cost savings from reducing medications and reducing harm.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
Hand infections are common and varied, leading to long-term complications when managed poorly. Splinting of the hand in a position of safe immobilisation (POSI) is frequently used to avoid complications including pain and stiffness, however it is not a universally accepted technique because the effects of splinting in hand infections remain unestablished.
This systematic review will compare outcomes in adult hand infections between those treated using hand immobilisation and those not immobilised. The primary aim is to compare patient reported outcomes, for example pain, and the secondary aim is to compare functional active range of motion, complications, and resource use.
Method
A systematic review protocol has been developed. The search strategy was developed following background reading, expert opinion, and review by an academic librarian, and will be used to search MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, to identify publications on management of hand infections including use of hand immobilisation. Title, and full-text screening will be carried out by two independent investigators to identify studies for inclusion. Editorials, letters, and literature reviews will be excluded.
Results
This systematic review has been successfully registered on the PROSPERO International prospective register of systematic reviews (CRD42021232880)
Conclusions
This systematic review will summarise the available evidence to establish the effect of hand immobilisation in hand infections, including whether hand immobilisation leads to improved outcomes in hand infections, which could guide health care professionals in their practice and influence future clinical guidelines.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Day Case Arthroplasty has been validated as a safe strategy for reducing length of stay for patients undergoing elective arthroplasty. With the ongoing recovery of elective activities following the COVID pandemic and long waiting lists; day case arthroplasty offers a solution for both hospitals and patients. Reducing length of stay will reduce the cost of day case arthroplasty which benefits hospitals, whilst the faster discharge reduces unnecessary exposure to an increased risk of COVID for patients. This study aims to establish the patient perspective on day case arthroplasty to inform the set-up of a patient cantered day case arthroplasty service.
Method
Data was collected at routine preoperative assessment clinics via a structured questionnaire which combined both quantitative and qualitative methods. The questionnaire covered patient demographics, issues pertaining to same-day discharge, level of concern related to common problems faced by patients after joint replacement surgery and patient preference for same day discharge versus more traditional rehabilitation methods.
Results
The study included 79 patients with 43% preferring same day discharge. Postoperative pain, surgical complications and wound healing were the most significant concerns elicited. Patients who preferred same day discharge were statistically younger. The majority of patients felt that their rehabilitation could be completed at home.
Conclusions
The results of this study highlight the demand for day case arthroplasty in this cohort of patients with younger patients preferring same day discharge. Identifying significant concerns will be important to formulate effective perioperative protocols to ensure successful implementation of a patient cantered day case arthroplasty service.

Abstract
Background Unequal female representation in the field of advanced therapeutic endoscopy (ATE) has been recently highlighted in the United States. Previous attempts to determine the barriers of entry into the career have found reasons including lack of mentorship, patriarchy, inflexible hours/call and exposure to fluoroscopy. There is no current literature describing the landscape of exposure to ATE for trainees in Canada or determining differences in experience based on gender. Aims We sought to determine the barriers to pursuing a career in advanced therapeutic endoscopy, specifically focussing on the perspectives of Canadian female gastroenterology fellows. Methods A survey was developed and distributed to the gastroenterology fellows enrolled in Royal College accredited programs across Canada via an online survey platform. Results Responses were received from gastroenterology fellows at 12 out of the 14 Canadian universities with Royal College accredited programs. The response rate was 46% (n=42, 16 female respondents, 26 male respondents). An equal proportion of male (42%, n=11) and female (38%, n=6) trainees indicated interest in a career in ATE. 38% (n=6) of female trainees felt that they had inadequate mentorship opportunities/role models within ATE, in comparison to 4% (n=1) of males (p=0.004). Furthermore, 19% (n=3) of females felt that this lack of mentorship/role models was a primary deterrent from pursuing ATE as a career, in comparison to 0% of males (p=0.02). There was equal self-perceived competency surrounding ATE knowledge between both genders. Conclusions Female gastroenterology fellows in Canada lack mentorship and role models in ATE, which they also indicated as a primary deterrent from pursuing it as a career when compared to their male counterparts. Recognizing and addressing the lack of female leadership and visibility is necessary to improve parity and encourage women to train in the male-dominated field of ATE. Funding Agencies None

Abstract
Superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula is an extremely rare vascular malformation with most cases occurring following abdominal trauma or surgery. They are often asymptomatic or present with various abdominal symptoms with or without features of portal hypertension. A 30-year-old man developed fistulising of the superior mesenteric artery into the superior mesenteric vein following bowel resection surgery for an acquired midgut volvulus. Although endovascular management remains the treatment of choice in such cases due to increased morbidity of a repeat abdominal surgery, definite risks remain, such as coil migration, which happened in this case. The open surgical approach remains the only option in such instances.

Abstract
Thermal fluids are used as heat transfer fluids and thermal energy storage media in many energy technologies ranging from solar thermal heating to battery thermal management. The heat capacity of state-of-the-art thermal fluids remains ∼50% of that of water (which suffers from a limited operation range between 0°C and 100°C), and their viscosities are typically more than one order of magnitude higher than that of water. Our results demonstrate that the heat capacity of the proposed thermochemical fluid is significantly higher than that of state-of-the-art thermal fluids over a broad temperature range and is also higher than that of water between 60°C and 90°C. The viscosity of our liquid is only 3 times higher than that of water, and the operating temperature range is between −90°C and 135°C. Furthermore, a model was developed allowing for novel design of thermochemical thermal fluids in the future with even higher heat capacity. Novel thermal fluid using dissolved reactants for enhanced heat capacity Exceeds the heat capacity of water between 60°C and 90°C Thermal window between −90°C and 135°C and viscosity only 3x that of water Molecular model inputs for Cp matches well with experimental data

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several small randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies have compared high (15-20/7.5-10/7.5-10 mg/kg/dose) versus standard dose (10/5/5 mg/kg/dose) ibuprofen for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure, with limited evidence on efficacy and safety. OBJECTIVE To systematically review and meta-analyze studies of high versus standard dose ibuprofen for the closure of PDA in preterm infants. METHODS Databases were searched for RCTs and observational studies assessing high compared to standard dose of ibuprofen for PDA closure for preterm infants until August 2021. The primary outcome was failure of PDA closure after the first course of ibuprofen. The secondary outcomes were the failure of PDA closure after a second course of ibuprofen, rates of PDA ligation, all-cause mortality prior to hospital discharge, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, necrotizing enterocolitis, bleeding disorders, oliguria, and serum creatinine after treatment. RESULTS There were 6 studies with 369 patients (3 RCT, N = 190; 3 observational studies, N = 179). Compared to standard dose, high dose ibuprofen did not significantly decrease the failure rate of PDA closure in preterm infants after the first course (Relative risk (RR) 0.74, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.53 -1.03, 6 studies, N = 369). High dose ibuprofen significantly decreased the rates of PDA ligation compared to standard dose (RR 0.33, 95% CI 0.16 -0.70, 5 studies, N = 309). INTERPRETATION Based on low-grade evidence, high dose ibuprofen may more effectively reduce rates of PDA ligation compared to standard dose with no increase in adverse effects, neonatal morbidities and mortality.
